Faith Chapel’s Worship Service

Faith Chapel’s Worship Service

The Bible says that the glory of God is the purpose of both our creation and our redemption in Christ. When there is no more need of either prayer or evangelism there still will be worship—for eternity. It is the heartbeat of our life as the people of God (in general), and of our congregation in particular. In view of how important worship is, we’d like not only to give you a glimpse of our service, but tell you why we do it this way. So we invite you not only to look over the order of service, but to look at the explanation of the order. That page is still under construction, and when finished there will be a link below the order of service.
